statsmodels.stats.gof.gof_chisquare_discrete¶

statsmodels.stats.gof.gof_chisquare_discrete(distfn, arg, rvs, alpha, msg)[source]¶

perform chisquare test for random sample of a discrete distribution

Parameters:

distnamestr: name of distribution function
argsequence: parameters of distribution
alphafloat: significance level, threshold for p-value

Returns:

resultbool: 0 if test passes, 1 if test fails

Notes

originally written for scipy.stats test suite, still needs to be checked for standalone usage, insufficient input checking may not run yet (after copy/paste)

refactor: maybe a class, check returns, or separate binning from: test results
